Olympus

Welcome to Olympus, a majestic contemporary estate masterfully designed and perfectly positioned on a private oceanfront lot in Rum Point. Designed with dramatic white angled walls, three levels of outdoor entertaining spaces, and an oceanfront living area with 40 feet of floor-to-ceiling sliding glass, Olympus is breathtakingly gorgeous. Perched on an elevated ridge, it is not difficult to see how the current owner came upon the name Olympus. At almost 8,000 sq. ft. of living space for only 4-5 bedrooms, each room is a grand statement and offers views of the sea, the pool, and the expertly-landscaped grounds.

The L-shaped cerulean-blue swimming pool has tiled patios on both sides. The unique design of the house creates numerous shaded areas from which to escape the Caribbean sun's rays. The third-floor roof deck includes a private sundeck and open garden, plus a covered outdoor kitchen and dining area for sunset dinners, or late-night cocktails. The owner has ordered a suite of new outdoor furniture for the decks and entertaining spaces.

The indoor features of Olympus rival the outdoors. Upon entering the villa, the modern floating staircase and tropical-wood wall of doors will draw your attention straight to the oceanfront great room that opens to an ipe deck, white sand backyard, and the shimmering Caribbean waters beyond.

A large flatscreen TV can be found in the living area, as well as another in the "media room" for gaming and home theatre use. Each bedroom also has an integrated wall-mounted TV with a SONOS soundbar, Cable, Netflix, and Apple TV. A furnished small home office with complimentary WiFi is available for guests needing to conduct business or connect with clients while on-island. Technology is in long supply at this villa.

Olympus can comfortably sleep 8 adults in 4 en-suite master bedrooms, as well as accommodate up to 4 children on pull-out sofas in the separate media room or in the first-floor master queen family suite.

Beach Notes
The entire island is only 22 miles wide from west to east so you are never too far from anywhere on Grand Cayman. The homes on the oceanfront in Rum Point offer great reef-protected snorkeling. The beaches usually have plenty of white sand, but also can have spots of rocky “ironshore” with natural rock formations. The closer you get to Rum Point, usually the sandier the beach as well as swimming. Either way, with the abundant marine life we have in the water, you will want to wear pool shoes or fins for foot protection. The prevailing trade winds from the east also make flying insects less of a pest—many of the homes in Rum Point don’t even need a screened porch.
Olympus has a very sandy water entrance for swimming, however, there are critters so please wear foot protection. We do get tidal seagrasses on the beach. The owners hire a service that will rake the beach weekly to make a clear path to the water for snorkeling, kayaking, and swimming.
The big draw to this area is the proximity to the Rum Point Club, a public beach club that offers a fantastic barefoot beach, many watersports, a fine-dining restaurant, beach bar & grill, a gift shop, and pick-up beach volleyball games. Also nearby is the Kaibo Yacht Club restaurant, bar, and marina.
